Damaged pictograms on the seat adjustment buttons in a Mercedes G-Class. The instructional diagrams showing the directions for adjusting the seat were worn and illegible, which made it difficult to operate the seat settings.

Type of material

Painted plastic – Mercedes G-Class seat adjustment buttons

Solutions implemented

As part of the project, we carried out the restoration of the plastic components and the reproduction of the pictograms. The process involved:

removing the seat adjustment buttons from the side panel,
chemical removal of the worn paint coating,
regeneration of the plastic components to restore their original surface texture,
precision painting using paints resistant to abrasion and heavy use,
laser reproduction of all pictograms and informational graphics in accordance with the original specifications,
application of a protective coating to ensure long-term durability,
re-fitting of the buttons to the seat panel.

Final result: the seat adjustment buttons look as good as new, and the clear pictograms allow for convenient operation of the seat settings.

The little diagrams showing seat adjustment directions on my Mercedes G-Class are worn and illegible - can those specifically be restored?

Yes, this is exactly the kind of detail work we do. We remove the seat adjustment buttons, chemically strip the worn coating, repaint them, and laser-reproduce every pictogram and directional graphic according to the original specifications – so it’s clear again which direction moves the seat forward, back, up, or reclines it.

Does restoring seat adjustment buttons affect how the seat actually moves?

No, this is a purely cosmetic repair. The buttons’ mechanism and the seat’s electric motors remain completely untouched – we only rebuild the plastic surface texture and the informational graphics on top.

The plastic on my seat buttons feels rough or has lost its original texture, not just the graphics - can that be fixed too?

Yes, as part of the process we regenerate the plastic surface itself to restore its original texture, not just repaint over the existing surface – so the finished buttons feel like the originals, not just look like them.

How much does it cost and how long does it take to restore seat adjustment buttons like the Mercedes G-Class's?

Time and cost depend on the number of buttons and how worn the original graphics are. The standard process includes removal from the side panel, stripping the old coating, texture regeneration, precision painting, laser-reproduced pictograms, protective coating, and refitting. We provide an exact quote individually after receiving photos.

Do you only restore seat adjustment buttons for the Mercedes G-Class, or other Mercedes and brands too?

We work with seat control buttons from all Mercedes models and other premium brands, not just the G-Class – including BMW, Audi, Porsche, and Volvo. The restoration principle is the same regardless of model: surface regeneration, precision painting, and laser-reproduced pictograms matching the original.
